She creates a TikTok to search for the mystery man, which goes viral, and she\u2019s shocked when his grandson responds\u2014a man who happens to be her high school nemesis, Theo Spencer.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Noelle refuses to let Theo\u2019s annoying accomplishments in adulthood\u2014or his sexy smirk\u2014stand in the way of meeting his grandfather and unlocking the secrets he knew about her gram as a young woman. When she learns that their plans to elope were thwarted, Noelle decides to take the honeymoon road trip they planned but never got to carry out. There\u2019s a catch, though: Paul, Theo&#8217;s grandfather, asks to come with her, and he insists that Theo join them.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">It\u2019ll be a miracle if they make it through the trip without Noelle throwing Theo out of the moving car\u2014or the bed they end up sharing. As the miles tick by, the tension simmers hotter between them&#8230;until she discovers that Theo\u2019s hiding a secret that could cause their tenuous relationship to end before it can restart.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_x6vc383 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_x70s383  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25879 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-top-pick-banner-1-2.png?resize=296%2C72&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jul 11, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Noelle<\/strong> is not pleased with her life at the moment. She is stuck at home with no job and grieving her grandmother. She can\u2019t seem to shake her rut until she discovers old letters her grandmother had hidden away. There is even a picture of her with a mysterious man. Eager to learn more about her grandmother\u2019s past, Noelle posts it on her TikTok page and garnishes the attention of the elderly man who was her grandmother\u2019s former beau.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">She agrees to meet with the gentleman but she didn\u2019t anticipate that his grandson would be her nemesis from high school. <strong>Theo<\/strong> is not the same guy she remembers, but he is still kind of aloof and distant. His grandfather, Paul, reveals that he and her grandmother were to elope and go on a honeymoon. Since they never got to do it, Noelle decides to explore the place for herself. Paul and Theo opt to go with her.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I really did enjoy this heartwarming romance. It is very interesting how authors are using social media in romance novels. Some can do it right and others rely to much on it to carry the story. Ms. Joyce uses it to jumpstart the introduction of the hero and heroine but doesn\u2019t rely on that to carry the entire the story. There is enough with Paul and Kathleen\u2019s romance plus the new budding romance with Theo and Noelle, to keep a reader\u2019s interest.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I really love that along the way, Theo and Noelle\u2019s relationship got to slowly shift towards more. They both seem eager to be in something and if I\u2019m being honest, the angst could have been more intense. The sweetness of the romance needed just a bit of edge to make this 100% perfect. The two learn more about themselves and are able to open up and finish what their grandparent never could.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">This debut novel is definitely one to read. I recommend it for contemporary romance lovers. I\u2019m anticipating more, and Ms. Joyce has officially put herself on my radar.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_6cec383 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KcLvpr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/43I9cNk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/you-with-a-view-jessica-joyce\/1142495535?ean=9780593548417\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/you-with-a-view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Jessica_Joyce_You_with_a_View?id=lJSUEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noelle Shepard is unemployed, living with her parents, and grieving the loss of her beloved grandmother when she discovers decades-old photos of Gram and a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,128,48,50],"tags":[153,216,217,404,405,485],"class_list":["post-30454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berkley","category-penguin-group","category-reviews","category-samantha","tag-4-5-stars","tag-contemporary","tag-contemporary-romance","tag-recommend","tag-recommended-reads","tag-top-picks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

She creates a TikTok to search for the mystery man, which goes viral, and she\u2019s shocked when his grandson responds\u2014a man who happens to be her high school nemesis, Theo Spencer.<br \/><br \/>Noelle refuses to let Theo\u2019s annoying accomplishments in adulthood\u2014or his sexy smirk\u2014stand in the way of meeting his grandfather and unlocking the secrets he knew about her gram as a young woman. When she learns that their plans to elope were thwarted, Noelle decides to take the honeymoon road trip they planned but never got to carry out. There\u2019s a catch, though: Paul, Theo's grandfather, asks to come with her, and he insists that Theo join them.<br \/><br \/>It\u2019ll be a miracle if they make it through the trip without Noelle throwing Theo out of the moving car\u2014or the bed they end up sharing. As the miles tick by, the tension simmers hotter between them...until she discovers that Theo\u2019s hiding a secret that could cause their tenuous relationship to end before it can restart.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-top-pick-banner-1-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jul 11, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Noelle<\/strong> is not pleased with her life at the moment. She is stuck at home with no job and grieving her grandmother. She can\u2019t seem to shake her rut until she discovers old letters her grandmother had hidden away. There is even a picture of her with a mysterious man. Eager to learn more about her grandmother\u2019s past, Noelle posts it on her TikTok page and garnishes the attention of the elderly man who was her grandmother\u2019s former beau.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">She agrees to meet with the gentleman but she didn\u2019t anticipate that his grandson would be her nemesis from high school. <strong>Theo<\/strong> is not the same guy she remembers, but he is still kind of aloof and distant. His grandfather, Paul, reveals that he and her grandmother were to elope and go on a honeymoon. Since they never got to do it, Noelle decides to explore the place for herself. Paul and Theo opt to go with her.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I really did enjoy this heartwarming romance. It is very interesting how authors are using social media in romance novels. Some can do it right and others rely to much on it to carry the story. Ms. Joyce uses it to jumpstart the introduction of the hero and heroine but doesn\u2019t rely on that to carry the entire the story. There is enough with Paul and Kathleen\u2019s romance plus the new budding romance with Theo and Noelle, to keep a reader\u2019s interest.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I really love that along the way, Theo and Noelle\u2019s relationship got to slowly shift towards more. They both seem eager to be in something and if I\u2019m being honest, the angst could have been more intense. The sweetness of the romance needed just a bit of edge to make this 100% perfect. The two learn more about themselves and are able to open up and finish what their grandparent never could.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">This debut novel is definitely one to read. I recommend it for contemporary romance lovers. I\u2019m anticipating more, and Ms. Joyce has officially put herself on my radar.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KcLvpr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/43I9cNk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/you-with-a-view-jessica-joyce\/1142495535?ean=9780593548417\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/you-with-a-view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Jessica_Joyce_You_with_a_View?id=lJSUEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30454"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30459,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30454\/revisions\/30459"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
